Mark, I still can't figure out your seven-letter word with five different vowels. I admit I'm stumped.

Anyone yet got my six-letter (seven-letter for the plural) word not containing a, e, i, o or u? By George, I thought you would have got it by now - after all those clues, who could ask for anything more?

I think the answer to Colin's question is rhythm. Another good word puzzle I heard many years ago is this: what seven-letter word contains five different vowels.

Well done, Mark, You Got Rhythm! Thank you also for PMing me the answer to your 7-letter all 5-vowel word!

Was this one already said: A word having 5 consecutive vowels in it, though not in order. There were others like this but you missed one.

What is the longest word in the english language which can be typed using only the top rom on your keyboard. What is the longest word using only your left hand to type?

I just found another few (I'm searching, these aren't mine but still hard I think)

Express 100 as the sum of three cubes, allowing each cube to be positive or negative.

What do these 5 words have in common:
[list]
[*]ENUMERATE
[*]UNOCCUPIED
[*]ONEROUS
[*]UNUSUAL
[*]BIRD
[/list]

Yep, I think most people know about the keyboard thing. It's still an interesting bit of trivia though.
